MakeSpace Sunday School & CUBS Program

More Information About our Children’s Education Program

Curriculum:
For the 2025-2026 Sunday School curriculum, MSSS is continuing with the incorporation of Quranic instruction and the implementation of the Ghazali Children curriculum to support our young learners’ understanding of Islam and spirituality. 

Quran instruction will include learning the Arabic alphabet and developing fluency of Quranic text. Ghazali Children aims to develop children’s knowledge, awareness, and practice of Islamic spirituality. This includes the ability to recognize and maintain innate human dignity, becoming self-observant, self-correcting, and developing noble character while living a life of humility and in service.

Class Levels:

Sprouts: Kindergarten – 1st Grade
This level is for children just beginning their journey, full of potential, like a sprout breaking through the soil.

 Buds: 2nd – 3rd Grade
At this stage, students start forming early moral and spiritual awareness, much like a bud preparing to bloom.

Blooms: 4th – 5th Grade
Here, children begin to blossom with character, understanding, and independent thought, reflecting the moral beauty emphasized in Ghazali’s teachings.

Roots: 6th – 8th Grade
In this stage, students focus on grounding themselves in deeper virtues, self-discipline, and spiritual awareness, developing strong roots.

Our History:
MakeSpace began its Sunday School program in January 2017 led by Principal Ms. Sonia Siddiqui, three teachers, and three levels ranging in age from 5-10.  After its inaugural run ended in May, we launched our first full year of programming on October 1, 2017 with Principal Ms. Safa Suleiman at the helm. We added a fourth level for students ages 11-13. The 2018-2019 academic year was led by Ms. Rubina Kapil and Ms. Sophia Yousofy as the Sunday School Principals. For the following three academic years (2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22), including the switch to virtual classes due to Covid19 and back to in-person instructions, Ms. Sameen Mansoor led the Sunday School, completing her term as the longest-serving Principal. Dr. Fatima Baig, who joined our team in August 2022, served as our Children’s Education Director for 2 years. Sister Nadia Fadir served as our Director of Children’s Education for the 2024-2025 school year.

Staff update:
MakeSpace Educational Programming, including Sunday School, will be directed and led by Dr. Fawzia Fazily, as the Director of Children’s Education.

The following teachers will instruct and lead students in Sunday School programming:
